Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I've got a slightly strange problem that I'm filing as a bug since it might potentially hit other users. Basically the desktop is not updating/refreshing properly when I log into my pre-existing user after re-installing with Lucid from scratch. (I have a seperate /home partition and usually upgrade by nuking the system partition and reinstalling while retaining my /home partition and user files. This has not been a problem until now.) Things I've tried: 1.) Created a new test user with no prior history. This presents no problem. 2.) User my original user as is. Doesn't work -- desktop displays but any further clicks/windows are not displayed unless you switch displays in some fashion (VT switch, Super-E and back to zoom out and zoom in again) or such, at which point the display does update as expected, but is then stuck again as before. 3.) I've tried overwriting/copying the clean-state test user's profile files on top of my existing user account files. Behaviour is same as reported in 2.) This implies that the problem is possibly caused by a remnant or setting taken over from my prior install that's not been overwritten by the copy from the test user. Any suggestions on how to track down what might be wrong and/or which configuration folders I should nuke to try and rectify this problem would be appreciated.
